In Luke 18, Jesus isn't giving us a lesson on having childlike faith. He's showing us something even more profound.Beginning with the persistent widow, moving through Jesus welcoming little children, continuing with the rich ruler, and ending with the disciples asking, "Who then can be saved?", Luke weaves together a single message: we are completely helpless to save ourselves.Infants don't bring accomplishments, wisdom, or spiritual maturity. They simply receive. That's the picture Jesus gives us of salvation.The answer to "Who can be saved?" isn't found in trying harder or believing better. It's found in the mercy of God.The chapter culminates with Jesus telling His disciples that He will suffer, die, and rise again on the third day. The resurrection isn't an afterthought—it's the reason salvation is possible at all. What is impossible with man is possible with God.In this episode of I Might Be Wrong with Travis, we explore Luke 18 as one unified story pointing us toward our need for grace, the certainty of Christ's resurrection, and the hope of the Gospel.If this conversation encourages or challenges you, consider subscribing and sharing the episode with someone who could use the reminder that salvation has always been God's work, not ours.
We’ve been taught—whether directly or indirectly—that real faith doesn’t question.That if you truly trust God, there’s no doubt, no hesitation, no tension.But when you actually read Scripture… that’s not what you see.From Abraham—the one called the father of faith—to the people Jesus meets in the New Testament, faith and doubt don’t seem to cancel each other out. They often show up at the same time.So what if we’ve misunderstood faith?What if it’s not about certainty…but about where—even in the middle of questions—you’re willing to stay?This episode wrestles with that tension.Support me here:https://buymeacoffee.com/imightbewrongpodcastpatreon.com/imightbewrong Venmo: @Travis-SeppalaEmail: tseppalapodcast@gmail.com

Not temporarily. Not as an idea.Actually.And I might be wrong…but I think we’ve heard that so many times that we’ve stopped thinking about what it really means.Because if that’s true—then it changes everything.In this episode, I walk through:what the incarnation actually iswhy it mattered so much to the early churchand what it means that Jesus didn’t stop being humanHe lived as a human. He died as a human. He rose as a human. And right now—He is seated at the right hand of God as a human being.So this isn’t just theology.This is about:who God iswhat it means to be humanand why your life might matter more than you thinkAnd I might be wrong…but I don’t think the problem is that God feels far away.I think we’re just looking for Him in the wrong places.
Most Christians have heard the Parable of the Talents in Matthew 25 explained as a lesson about using our gifts and abilities.But the word talent in Jesus’ time didn’t mean skills or natural ability. It meant a massive amount of money — a treasure entrusted to servants while the master was away.So what if the parable isn’t about our talents at all?In this episode of I Might Be Wrong, we take a deeper look at Matthew 25:14–30 and explore the possibility that the treasure Jesus is talking about is actually the Kingdom of God itself.And if that’s true, then the warning in the parable may not be about wasting the treasure…It may be about burying it.What happens when the Gospel is treated as something to protect rather than something meant to be shared?
This episode explores the story of the Samaritan woman at the well in Gospel of John chapter 4, and how it connects directly to the message of John 3:16–17.We often quote John 3:16 as a statement about salvation, but in John’s Gospel the meaning becomes visible in real time through Jesus’ encounter with a Samaritan woman — someone who stood outside the boundaries of religion, culture, and respectability.And yet something surprising happens.While the disciples struggle to understand what Jesus is doing, the Samaritan woman becomes the one who carries the message to her entire town.In many ways, she does what the disciples should have done.This conversation at the well reveals something radical about the kingdom of God: the love described in John 3:16 was never meant to stay inside religious boundaries. It was always moving outward.
In Luke 10, a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?”But what if we’ve been asking the wrong question?In this episode, we explore the Good Samaritan, the Greatest Commandment, and a cultural shift that has quietly detached love of neighbor from love of God.When empathy becomes the highest authority, do we redefine obedience in the name of compassion?• Can love exist apart from God?• Who gets to define what love actually is?• Did we reverse Jesus’ greatest commandment?We look at Scripture, culture, and Christ as the true Neighbor — and why love without God eventually bends inward.If love has no anchor, it becomes opinion.With God, it becomes life.
Who am I in Christ? Too many of us live under shame, fear, or old identities we weren’t meant to carry. In this episode, we unpack Jesus’ baptism, the meaning of being in Christ, and how God has already chosen humanity. Discover how identity shapes life—and why belonging changes everything.
In this episode, we walk through Ephesians 2:8–9 and explore why so many Christians struggle with a performance-based faith, even though the Bible says salvation is a gift, not something we earn.We talk about:What it really means to be saved by grace through faithWhy Christians feel pressure to perform for GodThe difference between self-improvement and resurrectionWhy many believers are still fighting a battle Jesus already wonHow to live from victory instead of striving for approvalIf you’ve ever felt like Christianity has become heavy, overwhelming, or exhausting, this episode reframes salvation as rescue, not effort — and invites you to rest in Christ’s finished work.This conversation is for anyone wrestling with guilt, shame, burnout, or the feeling that they’re “never quite doing enough,” despite believing in grace.https://buymeacoffee.com/imightbewrongpodcastpatreon.com/imightbewrongEmail: tseppalapodcast@gmail.com
What does it actually mean to be chosen, predestined, and loved?In this episode, we explore Ephesians 1:3–14 and what Paul teaches about identity in Christ — not as pressure, but as freedom.Chosen in Christ.Adopted on purpose.Redeemed and forgiven.Sealed by the Spirit.If you’ve wrestled with spiritual anxiety, performance-based faith, or fear about where you stand with God, this episode offers clarity, calm, and hope.patreon.com/imightbewronghttps://buymeacoffee.com/imightbewrongpodcastEmail: tseppalapodcast@gmail.com

The conventional wisdom that gender is a social construct is not supported by much of what we have learned in the last 30 yrs.
Great relationships exist because of forgiveness. Terrible relationships exist because of "forgive and forget"
Reluctant leaders can grow into passive aggressive monsters. Embrace leadership, but don't crave it.
